Penguins Recall Forward Garrett Wilson

The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled forward Garrett Wilson from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.

Forward Zach Aston-Reese has been placed on injured reserve.

Wilson, 27, has split this season between Pittsburgh and the AHL's WBS Penguins, where he is serving as the team's captain. At the AHL level, Wilson has 18 points (8G-10A) and 69 penalty minutes in 18 games this year. Five of his eight goals have come on the power play.

The 6-foot-2, 199-pound Wilson has skated in 14 games with Pittsburgh this season, tallying two assists, including his first regular-season NHL point, and is a plus-three.

The Penguins begin a five-game road trip on Friday in Anaheim against the Ducks at 10 PM EST. The Penguins' longest road trip of the season includes visits to Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose, Arizona and Vegas. All games are available to watch on AT&T SportsNet or listened to on 105.9 The X.
